When I rented my first apartment I was given this edition that was bound. For a novice cook it had easy to follow recipes as I even learned how to make homemade egg noodles like my grandmother made. After 30 some years of using it the binding gave way. Time for a replacement and found this in a binder format. I have made adjustments to some of the recipes but overall every recipe I ever tried came out tasty!

A cookbook with standard American fare recipes, that has stood the test of time, still beloved by my children, now grown, who would like to have a copy of their own. Our original copy, now more than 30 years old, is so worn by nearly daily use that it needs backup. A timeless cookbook to treasure far into the future. The recipes are clearly written out, so rookie cooks will have no problem following. The photos are inviting. The recipes are solid, something most cooks will return to time and time again. It is an all-purpose cookbook, from starters/h'or d'oeuvres to canning and freezing, this is the quintessential one-stop cookbook. I use more recipes from this one cookbook than I do all the other cookbooks I own put together. If you could have only one cookbook, this is the one to have.Read full review

Perfect, I love it . I am 72 years old now and I was raised on this cookbook its really important to me. Mom taught us how to cook with it. It was very easy to understand so I wanted my Granddaughter to learn also the same way. Thank you soooo much. Connie

I bought this because I was given a brand new one 27 years ago when I got married. I used it almost every day. So when each of my children get married, I find them a copy becaue this is one of the best cookbooks out there for a beginner. It has everything you need to know about how to get started with basics like freezing food, cooking from scratch, canning, everything. There was a little water damage in one area throughout the book, like a corner got wet. But it does not effect the usability of the product.
This cookbook was something my sister wanted because it is the same year as the one our mother had. The book was in very good condition, every page was pristine
